[Regnum] In Tver today, June 12, the solemn transfer of the relics of the holy blessed prince Mikhail Yaroslavich of Tver from the Resurrection Cathedral to the restored Transfiguration Cathedral took place. In the morning, a liturgy was held in the Resurrection Cathedral, led by Metropolitan Ambrose of Tver and Kashin. Then a religious procession took place through the streets of Tver. It ended in the Transfiguration Cathedral with a prayer service before the relics of the saint. “This historical event takes place on Russia Day. Mikhail Yaroslavich is an example of great public service and feat for the sake of his people, ” said the governor of the Tver region, Igor Rudenya. “Today’s event, which brought together several thousand people, shows how strong we are in spirit and strong in our faith.” “This is a deeply spiritual and significant event for all of us, for Orthodoxy on our land, for our city and for our entire Russian land. The holy noble prince Mikhail of Tverskoy wrote his name in the chronicle of great Russian history forever,” said Metropolitan Ambrose of Tver and Kashin. Participants in the historical event of transferring the relics of the Holy Blessed Prince Mikhail Yaroslavich of Tver from the Resurrection to the Transfiguration Cathedral were parliamentarians, clergy, families of participants in a special military operation and large families, representatives of public and youth organizations of the region, residents and guests of Tver. In all historical eras, Prince Mikhail Tverskoy was especially revered as the heavenly patron of the Upper Volga region. The relics of the saint rested for a long time in the Transfiguration Cathedral, which he founded. After the revolution and the destruction of the cathedral, the shrine was kept in the storerooms of the Tver Museum, but was lost during the occupation of the city of Kalinin. In 2018, in the year of the 700th anniversary of the feat of the holy prince, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia donated a large particle of the relics of the blessed prince to the Tver Metropolis. In the same year, the ark with a particle of the saint’s relics was brought to the Transfiguration Cathedral, which was being restored. Afterwards the ark was kept in the Resurrection Cathedral. And today, a particle of the relics in the historical shrine has returned under the arches of the already recreated Transfiguration Cathedral. |
